  • the dairy business there is a demand to occasionally increase the solids content of the processed products, which may be skim milk or whey.
  • the demand may be based on desired characteristics of a product or lowering of handling costs outside the production site.
  • reverse osmosis is today a commonly used method.
  • a solids content of about 9-35 wt% is obtainable in a skim milk process, and for a whey process a solid content of about 6-30 wt% is obtainable.
  • Reverse osmosis has limitations to how high the obtainable solids content may be.
  • the membranes used for reverse osmosis have a very small pore size and the membrane is designed to allow only water to pass through. This process requires that a high pressure is exerted on the high concentration side of the membrane. The process is limited by the osmotic pressure of the retentate and limitations of the pressure in the membrane filtration system.
  • Evaporators may be used to remove water from a milk processing system. Evaporators are able to obtain a solids content of up to about 40-50 wt%. However, evaporators are large, bulky, space occupying apparatuses which demand large investment costs, not only in the equipment itself but also additional expansion of buildings is often demanded. The size of evaporators for use in the dairy business makes it difficult to in a simple manner incorporate them into an existing processing unit and building. There is a demand to find new ways to increase the solids content of skim milk or whey in a cost efficient manner, without huge investments in building structures. Summary
  • the present invention provides a process for increasing the solids content of skim milk or whey, possibly decreased energy consumption, and without the need for expensive enlargement of the building structure around the process.
  • the present invention also allows for lowered transport costs.
  • One aspect of the present invention is to provide a process for production of a concentrate of skim milk or whey, comprising the steps of providing a feed of skim milk or whey,
  • skim milk or whey subjecting the concentrate of skim milk or whey to an ultra-filtration to obtain an ultra-filtration permeate and a retentate of skim milk or whey.
  • the ultra-filtration permeate is returned to the feed of skim milk or whey before the reverse osmosis and/or as a feed before the reverse osmosis.
  • the ultra-filtration is performed at a pressure of 1 -45 bar, preferably 4-20 bar.
  • the ultra-filtration includes filtration elements having cuttoff values between 1 000 and 50 000 kD, preferably between 1 000 and 10 000 kD, 1 000 and 5 000 kD.
  • the retentate of skim milk or whey have a solids content of at least 36 wt%, preferably 36-50 wt%, preferably 38-50 wt%, preferably 40-50 wt%.
  • no additional ultra-filtration is performed before the reverse osmosis.
  • One aspect of the present invention is to provide a system for production of a concentrate of skim milk or whey, comprising:
  • a feed for skim milk or whey a reverse osmosis device adapted to provide a reverse osmosis permeate and a concentrate of skim milk or whey, and
  • an ultra-filtration device adapted to provide an ultra-filtration permeate and a retentate of skim milk or whey
  • the ultra-filtration device is subsequent the reverse osmosis device.
  • system further comprises a recirculation device adapted for obtained ultra-filtration permeate to be 1 ) returned to the feed of skim milk or whey before the reverse osmosis device, and/or 2) an additional feed to the reverse osmosis device.
  • a recirculation device adapted for obtained ultra-filtration permeate to be 1 ) returned to the feed of skim milk or whey before the reverse osmosis device, and/or 2) an additional feed to the reverse osmosis device.
  • the ultra-filtration device includes filtration elements having cuttoff values between 1 000 and 50 000 kD, preferably between 1 000 and 10 000 kD, 1 000 and 5 000 kD.
  • no additional ultra-filtration device is incorporated before the reverse osmosis device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic scheme of the present system and process with an optional recirculation of the UF permeate.
  • the present process relates to increasing the solids content of skim milk or whey.
  • whole milk may be subjected to a separation providing cream and skim milk.
  • the whey obtained during the process may be separated into whey cream and whey.
  • the obtained skim milk or whey may be concentrated by using it as a feed for a reverse osmosis (RO).
  • the RO provides a RO permeate, which may mainly comprise water and may have a solids content of about 0% TS.
  • the RO also provides a concentrate of skim milk or whey.
  • the solids content at this stage may be about 6-35 wt% TS.
  • the obtained concentrate of skim milk or whey is thereafter subjected to an ultra-filtration (UF).
  • the UF provides a UF permeate and a retentate of skim milk or whey.
  • the solids content at this stage of the retentate may be at least 36 wt% TS; e.g.
  • the ultra-filtration permeate is returned to the feed of skim milk or whey before the reverse osmosis.
  • the ultrafiltration permeate is returned as a feed of its own for the reverse osmosis treatment. A combination of the two is also possible.
  • the ultra-filtration may be performed at a pressue of about 1 -45 bar, e.g. about 4-20 bar.
  • the ultra-filtration may include filtration elements having cuttoff values of 1 000 - 50 000 kD, such as 1 000 - 10 000 kD or 1 000 - 5 000 kD.
  • the present invention also relates to a system for production of a concentrate of skim milk or whey, comprising a feed for the skim milk or whey, a reverse osmosis device adapted to provide a reverse osmosis permeate and a concentrate of skim milk or whey, and an ultra-filtration device adapted to provide an ultra-filtration permeate and a retentate of skim milk or whey.
  • the ultra-filtration device is to be connected subsequent of the reverse osmosis device.
  • the system may further comprise a recirculation device.
  • the recirculation device is to be adapted for the obtained ultra-filtration permeate to be returned to the feed of skim milk or whey before the reverse osmosis device, and/or an additional feed to the reverse osmosis device. If the ultra- filtration permeate is returned as an additional feed, it may be without any connection to the feed of skim milk or whey, or a combination of the two.
  • the ultra-filtration device may includes filtration elements having cuttoff values of 1 000 - 50 000 kD, such as 1 000 - 10 000 kD or 1 000 - 5 000 kD. According to one embodiment no additional ultra-filtration device(s) are incorporated into the system before the reverse osmosis device.
  • Fig 1 shows the connection between the initial RO and subsequent UF.
